Dave,
Go to the library and get a few easy investment books.
Pick a few stocks and track them weekly at the close on Friday.
Read Barron's or the Wall Street Journal.
You will pick up knowledge quickly.
Even though it's pretty dry reading I would recommend a textbook from a beginning college investing course as well.
Trust me the time and money you spend studying it will be repaid 100X. There is no greater value than knowing finances.
What are some of the key numbers that I should look for in stocks? Like what stats do you pay most of your attention to?
What do you think Eagle Materials EXP will report tomorrow if you have an opinion on it?
